Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Technical field of invention The present invention relates to taping systems.

Background of the Technology A taping system is a system in which a large number of separate parts are sandwiched together with tape and lined up in a row to produce a single band-shaped parts storage tape (reel). Such a taping system is indispensable, for example, in the field of manufacturing electronic products, and will be explained below by taking this as an example. In other words, when a robot such as an automatic insertion machine automatically mounts a predetermined resistor component, diode component, capacitor component, IC component, etc. onto a predetermined portion of a substrate such as a printed circuit board, the robot inserts these parts into a predetermined header. Take out the board and attach it to the board. This header is usually prepared in large numbers, each having taped parts. The invention refers to a taping system for producing taped parts to be supplied to each such header.

Prior Art and Problems With conventional taping systems, only a single type of component can be taped.

In other words, if it is a resistive component, it is a resistive component, for example, 47Ω.
In that case, it was only possible to manufacture a reel with only 47Ω resistor parts taped. For this reason, if there are 50 types of parts to be mounted on the board, 50 headers must also be prepared for each type of part, which is very uneconomical. This is the problem. Therefore, it is ideally desirable to enable the robot to automatically mount the group of parts onto the board using one header, regardless of the type 8 parts to be mounted on the board. In order to be able to perform the automatic mounting with as many headers as possible,
It is necessary that the aforementioned reel consists of a group of many types of parts taped in a line in a predetermined order, that is, in a sequence required by the robot. Moreover, we needed a taping system that could tap all kinds of parts in any sequence.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION It is therefore an object of the invention to propose a taping system which allows parts of all kinds to be taped in line in any sequence as desired.

Structure of the Invention In order to achieve the above object, the present invention arranges specified parts at specified positions from among a plurality of types of parts prepared in advance, and performs operations as soon as the arrangement is specified. an array unit comprising a sensor group for monitoring whether or not the specified parts are arranged at specified positions, and a chipping process for the array parts group supplied from the array unit to the sea array with specified parts arranged at specified positions; a loading section comprising a sensor for monitoring whether or not the taping process has been carried out normally; and a loading section that sequentially specifies the parts in the arrangement section according to input data and specifies their arrangement positions; and a control section that receives outputs from the sensor group of the array section and outputs from the sensors of the loading section and controls operations of the array section and the loading section.

Embodiment of the Invention FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram schematically showing an example of an automatic parts mounting device. In this figure, numeral 11 indicates a header (only four are shown in the figure), in which taped parts are stored in a reel shape. The parts from this header 11 are held by a robot 12 and set at predetermined positions on a printed circuit board 13 according to instructions from a microcomputer (not shown). 14 indicates parts that have already been set. The taping system of the present invention is for manufacturing taped parts that are housed in a spatula 11.

FIG. 2 is a developed view of the taped parts, in which the parts 14 are arranged in a line and each lead 15 of each part 14 is held by a tape 21. Each tape 21 has two layers, and a portion of the lead 15 is held between each layer.

However, the automatic mounting device shown in FIG. 1 has some disadvantages.

This means that each header 11 can only supply a single type of component. That is, in FIG. 2, all parts 14 held on one continuous tape 21 are identical. In this case, if there are 50 types of parts 14 to be attached to the printed board 13 shown in FIG. 1, 50 types of spacing plates 11 must be prepared. For example, if resistive components with resistance values of R1Ω, R2Ω, R3Ω, and R4Ω are required, the header 11 should be R1Ω.
~ Headers dedicated to resistor parts for each R4Ω (al, R in Figure 1)
2, R3, R4) must be prepared.

This also applies to diode parts, IC parts, capacitor parts, etc., and is very uneconomical.

Therefore, if robot 1 is used for printed board 13 in FIG.
140 types of parts that 2 should be installed and their order are A-+B-
+E-+A-+A-+ +F→...(, A, B.

E, and F represents the type of parts), if the taped parts arranged in this way are prepared in advance, the spade 11 in Fig. 1 can theoretically be made into one piece. The good news is that it is extremely economical. FIG. 3 is a developed view showing an example of a taped component manufactured by the taping system of the present invention. A, BJ, A,
A, , and F are the types of parts according to the above example. Note that the types and arrangement order of these parts are determined for each type of printed board.

FIG. 4A is a block diagram showing a control section in a taping system according to the present invention, which controls the operation of the entire system. FIG. 4B is a structural diagram showing an arrangement section of the taping system according to the present invention, in which designated parts are arranged at designated positions from among a plurality of groups of parts prepared in advance. 4th C
The figure is a structural diagram taken out of the loading section in the taping system according to the present invention.The arrangement section vortex group supplied from the arrangement section to the -row is subjected to the taping process as shown in FIG. Alms and reel. This reel is supplied to/to the automatic loading device described above.

First, the arrangement section shown in FIG. 4B will be explained. A plurality of cassettes 421 exist in the array section 420.

These cassettes 421 are dedicated to CASI, CAS2, . CAS3...CASN are divided into TAPE 1, TAPE 2, and T for each single type of part that has already been taped.
They are distinguished as APE 3...TAPE N.

That is, the cassette 421 has parts A, B, and C from the left side in the figure.
, Di, etc., are determined. In addition,
Not all of the cassettes 421 are necessarily used, and the CAS

is provided and moves back and forth between the two suzo rockets 423° and 423'. Rimashi, Suji Rocket 423.423'
rotate in the directions of the arrows shown. This belt 422 has a plurality of parts receivers 42 divided at a constant pitch.
4. - Each component discharged from one of the cassettes 421 arranged in a row is transferred on this belt 422 to the loading section 440 in FIG. 4C. A plurality of discharge parts 425 are provided at positions where the plurality of cassettes 421 and the belt 422 face each other. This discharge part 425 is, for example, a solenoid, and each cassette CAS 1 to CASN, T
A) Corresponding to the lower end of 弔1~TAPEN, each 5O
LC1~5OLCN, 5OLT 1~5OLTN
It is set up as follows. When either solenoid is driven by the drive control signal SD from the control section in FIG. 4A, one component is removed from the corresponding cassette and the component receiver 424
released above.

As described above, specified parts are arranged at specified positions on the belt 422, but a group of sensors is required to monitor whether this arrangement is carried out as specified or not. The most important of these sensor groups (SN) is the synchronous sensor, designated SNA in Figure 4B. The synchronous sensor SNA outputs a strobe signal SsB every time one component receiver 424 passes in front of it. The control section 400 in FIG. 4A operates in synchronization with the timing of generation of the strobe signal 88B. If this synchronization is not maintained, the parts cannot be correctly arranged on the belt 422 according to commands from the control section. By counting this strobe signal SSB, it is possible to always know which component receiver 424 is currently in which position. Conversely,
Since the control unit can always know which component receiver 424 is currently in which position, it can instruct which cassette 421 to eject components at which timing according to the input data. This input data is input in advance to the fourth rater for each reel to be manufactured.

Others of the sensor group (SN) in the array section 420 are:
Part release monitoring sensor 430 (SNC1, SNC2.

If the component is not ejected from the corresponding cassette through the corresponding ejector even after receiving the drive control signal SD from the control section 400 in FIG. 4A, this is an abnormality and some kind of countermeasure should be taken. necessary (described later).

The other sensor group (SN) in the array section 420 is a setting sensor SNB. After passing through the final stage cassette (TAPE N ), it is checked whether one component is correctly set in the component receiver 424 where the component is to be stored. FIG. 5 is a partially enlarged plan view seen from the setting sensor SNB in FIG. 4B. In this figure, claws 5 are arranged at a constant pitch on a belt 422.
Each component receptacle 424 is formed between 10. Parts receiver 42

The parts indicated by 53 are arranged normally, but the parts indicated by 53 are not arranged normally. Alternatively, an abnormality in which two components are placed in one component receptacle 424 can be avoided. Therefore, setting sensor SN in Fig. 4B
B is a photosensor 5 provided on both sides of the belt 422, for example.
4 and 55, and only when there is one lead 15 on each side is considered normal, and otherwise is abnormal.

Returning again to FIG. 4B, the other sensor group (SN) is a characteristic sensor SNC. After passing through the final stage cassette (TAPEN), the characteristics of each part are inspected. For example, whether a component that should be R1Ω has a resistance value of R1Ω, or whether the polarity of a diode component is a specified polarity (for example, whether the right side of the belt is the anode and the left side is the cathode), etc. Inspect and use a multimeter (M
M) Determination is made by the control unit 400 via 426. In addition,
The control unit 400 always knows what characteristics the component currently being inspected by the characteristic sensor SNC should have.

Note that 433 is a shaping section that straightens the bent lead 15.

The belt 422 is transported by a motor 427, a clutch 428 and a no'-429. The rotation of motor 427 is boom! Whether or not to tell J-429,
It is commanded by a clutch control signal SCL from the control section. Note that parts that have not yet been explained in FIG. 4B will be described later.

Next, the control section 400 shown in FIG. 4A will be described.

The control section 400 controls the operation of the array section 420, preferably by program processing. The main point of the operation is that each component receiver 424 (fourth
The purpose is to determine the type of parts to be released (Figure B) and the timing of their release.

FIG. 6 is a diagram schematically showing the operations to be performed by the array section 420 under the control of the control section 400.

In this figure, the top row 421 is shown in Figure 4B and contains nine cassettes (CAS 1, CAS 2...CAS 5,
), parts A, B, C, D, E, etc. are stored. These cassettes 421 discharge designated parts to corresponding parts receivers 424 which are being moved at designated timings. This timing is shown in the figure (
It is illustrated in each column of 1) to (6). In addition, 2 in the figure
The double-lined arrow represents the falling (ejection) of the component from the cassette, and the single-line arrow represents the movement of the component receiver 424. In addition, each component receiver 424 has a number ■ in the order of arrangement of each component receiver.
~■ is marked. In this figure, parts A, for example, are placed in each of the parts receivers ■ to ■.

The sequence up to arranging A, C, D, B, and E is shown. At timing (1), part A is dropped into the parts receiver ■, at timing (2), part A is also dropped into the parts receiver ■, at timing (3), part C is dropped into the parts receiver ■, and at timing (4) Now, with the parts receiver ■ empty, drop the part B into ■, and when the parts receiver ■ comes directly under the corresponding cassette (which stores the parts) (5), drop the part B. In (6), when the component receiver ■ comes directly under the corresponding cassette, the component E is dropped.

The above sequence control is performed by the control unit 400 in FIG. 4A.
Although it is preferable to perform this under the control of U 401, the configuration when this is realized as hardware is as follows.

FIG. 7 is a block diagram showing an example of a case where the control sequence shown in FIG. 6 is realized by hardware instead of software. In the figure, 71-1 to 71-5 are registers that store input data Din.

Cholera registers 71-1 to 71-5 are provided corresponding to cassettes CAS 1 to CAS 5, respectively. The contents of these registers correspond to the numbers ■ to ■ for the parts receivers in FIG.

These input data are sent to the digital comparator 72-1.
~72-5 are respectively applied as first comparison inputs.

On the other hand, count outputs from counters 73-1 to 73-5 are applied to second comparison inputs of digital comparators 72-1 to 72-5. These counters count the strobe signal 88B from the synchronization sensor SNA in Fig. 4B and determine what number (■ to ■) of component receivers are currently located directly under each cassette (CAS 1 to CAS 5). shows. The cassettes CAS-1 to CAS 5 in FIG. 4B are
Although the number of parts receivers 424 is shifted from each other by a distance corresponding to a certain number of parts, each counter is cleared (C in the figure).
Each time a predetermined number of counters is detected, a count value corresponding to the predetermined number of counters is preset (P1 to P5 in the figure). For example, if the number is @5'', then the counter 73-1.73-2
II Q for ゜73-3.73-4.73-5 respectively

"-10", @-15", and @-20" are preset. By doing so, the number of each counter and the number of the component receiver can be matched.

The count output of the counter 71-1 when the handle, for example, the parts receiver ■ is directly under the cassette) CAS 1, and the count output of the counter 71-5 when the parts receiver ■ is directly under the cassette) CAS 5. In order to align the values, it is sufficient to preset the count values with the above-mentioned deviation.

Thus, for cassette CAS 1, register 71-
When the data 1 in 1 matches the count output from the counter 73-1 indicating that the component receiver 2 has arrived directly under the cassette 1-CAS 1, the digital rampator 72-1 outputs the drive control signal ( SD in Figure 4B)SD
CA8I is output and drives the corresponding emission part 5QLC1 (Fig. 4B) through an amplifier (not shown), and the part A
to fall (release). Operations similar to those described above are also performed for cassettes CAS 2 to CAS 5.

FIG. 4C shows a loading section 440 for taping a group of parts in which designated parts are arranged at designated positions, and a sprocket 4 that engages with a parts receiver 424 on a belt 422.
41, through which each component is introduced into the loading section 440. Furthermore, the tape 21 wound around the rollers 442 and 442' is fed out, and the leads 15 of each component (Fig. 2) are fed out.
pinch both ends. Further, it is wound up with a roller 443 to form a reel. A label printer (L-PR) is used to show what specifications the parts are arranged on this reel.
T) 444. Its contents are provided via GPIB 410 (Figure 4A). It also has a manual switch (MS) 445 for manually controlling the clutch 428 that engages the motor 427.

A sensor is also provided within this loading section 440.

This is a part sensor SND, and in the process before turning into a reel at the roller 443, there is no part at the specified position.
and component force in unspecified positions: Detects each abnormality of the presence of parts. However, the component sensor SND only detects the presence or absence of a component, and the control unit 400 determines whether the component must be present at that position or not.

Next, a series of operations performed in the above-mentioned control section 40o1 arrangement section 420 and loading section 440 will be explained. 8th A
8B are flowcharts representing the main routine of the taping system according to the present invention. 8th
In FIG. A and FIG. 8B, Step ①: The cassette 421 stores the loose parts and the taping parts.

Step ■: Keyboard 405 and CRT 404
is used to input data on what kind of loose parts and taped parts are stored in the cassette 421.

Step ■: Key? - One set of sequence data is input using the code 405 and CRT 404 according to the specifications. The knob determines which parts are to be ejected into which parts receiver.

Step ■: Enter data on the number of sets. For example, if you need 100 sets of the same set, enter 'ioo'.This can also be done using a keyboard or CRT.

Step ■: The CPU 401 automatically creates data for multiple sequences. Data for multiple sequences refers to the following: For example, as shown in FIG.
) as one sequence data for one set ~ When multiple sequences (multiple sets) are required, when all waves of these parts groups come out from the bottom of cassettes CA81 to CAS5, it is necessary to start the next same sequence. be. However, this is wasteful as a large number of spaces (empty parts receptacles) are created until the next sequence. - Therefore, in column (6) of FIG. 6, it is preferable that the component group (EBDCAA) is arranged next to component Ec14 with one space between them. For this reason, in the case of multiple sequences, the multiple sequence data is reconfigured to eliminate the above-mentioned wasted space.

Step ■: Set the empty running distance. This is also performed by the CPU 401 according to the input data. Referring to FIGS. 4B and 40, for example, the parts A that fell from the cassette CAS 1 are the setting sensor SNB and the characteristic sensor SN.
C and component sensor SND must travel a certain distance before being inspected. Therefore, known constant distances are set as empty running distances for each of SNB, SNC, and SND. This idle running distance is set by the number of strobe signals SOB from the synchronous sensor SNA.

Step ■: CPU 401 automatically creates one-step fall information. Referring to FIG. 6, the number of parts falling from the cassette in a certain step (each timing of (1) to (6) in the figure) is not limited to one. For example, assuming that the component C is stored in the component tray ■ and the component B is stored in the container ■ in the same figure, at the timing (3) in the same figure, two components B and C are simultaneously stored in each cassette CAS 2 and CAS. 3. You can make it fall. Depending on the sequence data, three or more parts may be dropped simultaneously.

In this step (2), information on parts that can be dropped simultaneously in one step is created.

Step ■: Enter subroutine I. This subroutine I defines the actual movements in the array section 420 and the loading section 440. This will be explained later in FIGS. 8C to 8F.

Step ■: Check whether it is END (end). When one reel is completed, it is END.

Step [Phase] Perform nilapel printing. This is done by the label printer 444 in response to a command from the control unit 400.
The specifications of the reel can be determined. After this step, the main routine ends (END).

Figures 8C, 8D, 8E and 8F are 8B.
3 is a flowchart showing details of subroutine l shown in the figure. In these figures, step ①: The pitch of the parts receiver is confirmed. That is, each component receiver 424 on the belt
However, make sure that each cassette 421 is in the correct position to receive the parts. This is done using the strobe signal from the synchronization sensor SNA. Correct position like this,
That is, after confirming that the component receiver has arrived directly below the cassette, step (2) is entered.Step (2): Sending out a drive control signal for one step and driving the ejecting section 425. That is, the solenoid (SQLCI~5OLCN) associated with the specified cassette.

5OLT (1 to 5OLTN) is excited.

Step ■: Confirm parts release. This is done by the parts release monitoring sensor 430.

Step ■: Is the part almost out of stock? Check.

In FIG. 4B, this is due to the parts out sensor 4.31 (SNK 1 to 5) installed near the bottom of each cassette.
NEN, SNF 1-5NFN). If the parts are not out yet (No), proceed to the next step ■.

Step ■: Determine which cassette is out of parts.

When the parts are out (YES), when there is no output from the parts release monitoring sensor 430 attached to the cassette corresponding to the drive control signal sent from the control unit 400 (step ■ in FIG. 8C), the corresponding one A part of the cassette belonging to the sensor 430 is missing, and it is replaced with a CRT.
(404 in FIG. 4A). However, there is no need to immediately stop the system at this stage. This is because there are still a few parts left, and it is not desirable to stop the system frequently. Incidentally, this parts out warning is given by lighting up the error display lamp 432C (Fig. 4B).

In Figure 8D.

Step ■: Is it a part falling error? Check. This is done by the parts release monitoring sensor 430. If there are no errors, proceed as is.

Step ■: Subroutine ■ is entered if the result of step ■ is an error ap (YES). This subroutine will be explained in FIG. 8G.

In this subroutine (2), clutch 428 in FIG. 4B is opened to stop the system.

Step ■: Confirm the pitch of the parts receiver. This is the 8th
Step ■ in Figure C tends to have the opposite meaning. When proceeding to the next step ■, inspection after parts are dropped, after passing the drop-possible position, that is, at the claw 510 part in Figure 5, Checking the timing to check step ■.

Step ■: Inspection after parts fall. This step is performed immediately after the parts fall onto the belt 422, but may also be performed visually by the operator. In short, it is a test to see if the parts have fallen in the correct position.

In Figure 8E.

Is the step [phase] two-part setting condition OK? Check. If YES, proceed as is; if No, proceed to step ■. This stellar f [phase] is performed by the setting sensor SNB shown in FIG. 4B.

Step 0: Enter subroutine (2), which is the same as the step in FIG. 8D.

Step ■: Is the characteristic test OK? Check.

If YES, proceed as is; if No, proceed to step @. This step (2) is performed by the characteristic sensor SNC of FIG. 4B.

Step 0: Enter subroutine (2), which is the same as step (2) above.

Step @: Is the part condition OK? Check. If YES, proceed as is; if NO, proceed to step [phase].

This step (2) is performed in the component sensor SND shown in FIG. 4C.

Note that the above steps [phase], (1) and (2) are executed in the order shown when focusing on one component, but they actually proceed simultaneously. That is, in steps ■, @, and ■, each component immediately adjacent to the sensors SNB, SNC, and SND is now separately inspected.

Step 0: Enter subroutine (2), which is the same as steps (2) and @ above.

In Figure 8F.

Step o = Is there an error? Check. Check whether there is an error in any of the above steps f [phase], (2) and @, and if not (NO), return to step (4) in FIG. 8B (RET). If there is an error (YE Subroutine 0 where the neck error occurred. Enter ■ or @ and enter step ■.

Step 0: Perform error handling. Perform corresponding error handling according to the content of each error. At this time, the system is stopped.

Step ■: Engage the clutch. This is done by pressing the manual switch 445 in FIG. 4C to prevent the stopped system from starting again after the error processing is completed. Thereafter, return to step (CRET) in FIG. 8B.

Figure JSG is a flowchart representing the subroutine (2) shown in Figures 8D and 8E. In this figure, Step (2): The clutch is released. This is the control section 400
This is done under orders from. The system then stops.

Step ■: Determine the error details. This is performed by the CPU 401 by monitoring the outputs of various sensors.

Step (2): The contents of the error are displayed on the CRT 404, and if there is an error in each cassette, an error display lamp (432 in FIG. 4B) is turned on.

In any case, the operator should check the error indicator lamp or
By looking at the RT 404, you can immediately know the location of the error. After that, execute step ◎ in FIG. 8F, and return to step ◎ in FIG. 8B. In this way, the desired taped part can be obtained.
